I'm not joking, I've been buried under piles of pixels this past week. Between the volleyball tournament, some photo assignments, and helping Anna Aspnes get her store polished up over at Oscraps, I've been really heating up Mr. Mac.

I know that I've promised a bunch of people some peeks from last weekend's volleyball tournament, and I'll get there, but those pics have been pushed to the bottom of the pile for a few days. I promise I'll get there! In the meantime, here's another teaser....

As for Anna's team, I've been doing some work for her behind the scenes as well as creating some new layouts. Today, Oscraps is going to be giving her an official welcome and she'll be giving away a freebie, so be sure to get over there and grab it while you can. Anna's products are so unique and nothing like anything else that's out there for digital scrapbooking (at least in my opinion). Here are some layouts that I've done with her artsy goodness:

Be sure to pop over to The O today to get your freebie, and say hello!

So excited to have been selected for my super creative and talented friend Anna Aspnes's Creative Team for 2011. It's a huge honor! Anna is moving to Oscraps as of September 1st, so you'll see some of my work over there as well as here. I haven't been sharing much of my work lately, but I say it's time to get back into the groove. I know, I know, I seem to always say that.

Here are some of my creations using some of Anna's products:

And for those waiting for my tennis photos, I'm finally going to have some time to work on them today, I promise. Good stuff. Here's a sneak peek....

They say that silence is golden but I have to wonder. Around this blog, there is nothing but the sound of crickets.

I have readers, but lately it seems that I have no writers, and it makes me scratch my head a bit. Even my little ditty about Other People's Parenting got basically no response. That surprised me, it really did. I got royally burned earlier in 2010 for supposedly opening my mouth too much on this blog, and it's made me much more cautious. It's the big reason why I haven't expressed my opinions as much here, or just spoken in my normal "voice" about whatever crossed my mind, like I used to do.

Is it time to pack it in and move on? Have blogs become passe? You tell me. Or I suppose you could just nod in silence, but if you do, I'll never know.

I wish I was one of the popular gals like The Pioneer Woman and could give away a Kitchen Aid Mixer or a new Nikon D7000 (complete with Ashton Kutcher) for your replies. Alas, I'm not.

Wah.

Actually, I'm really not just whining. I've been pondering a move to convert this blog to a new one that's more photography-oriented and can better showcase my creative work. But I'll be honest. If there's no interest, then it's probably not worth my while. I can't decide.

I think I'm opting for the reading and scrapbooking, but I really should trim the roses because the lawn junk pickup is tomorrow. We'll see.

If you're in the mood to get some scrapbooking done because your family is gone and your football team also sucks and is blacked-out this Sunday, then why not get some inspiration over at The Digi Dares today? A new dare is up, and this week we're making you show us your curves! Here are some of my recent DD layouts. I know that some of they are a bit out-there, but that's half the fun, right?

I have managed to find a bit of scrapping mojo again lately, so I thought I'd put up some of my layouts that I've created in the last month or so. I haven't put any layouts on my blog since March so I thought I'd send a little digital eye candy your way on this lovely Sunday morning. Get ready, there's a lot of them!

Wow, it's been nearly two weeks since I updated. I don't know how time gets away from me.

Actually, I have a bunch of photos to put up, but I've taken about ten billion photos in the last month or so and I'm just starting to finally get a handle on things. I was in New York City two weeks ago, and I took a truckload of photos and turned them into HDR photos, so those are the ones I'm really psyched to share, but they do take some time to prepare. I promise that I'll get the ones I want to show resized and posted this week. I also have a good recipe to add tomorrow. It's time to get back to some summer cooking inspiration and if you help me with some, I'll try to help you.

In the meantime, I'll put up some new layouts that I have done recently for The Digi Dares and for Audrey Neal's Open Book challenge blog. I haven't done much digital scrapping lately and I don't really know why. Maybe it's the fact that I have about 2000 hockey photos and my girlfriends can only take so much of my hockey-loving ways!

This one was actually selected for the Gallery Standouts blog last week... that's always a fun surprise! And wow, I just noticed that the first layout up there (19 Years) made the gallery standouts last night. That never happens to me!

Have a great Monday! I always liked Mondays, it's like getting a fresh start on a new week.
